What is Twenty?

Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.

Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.

What is Less Annoying CRM?

Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact

LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.

Twenty vs Less Annoying CRM: editorial side-by-side

T5.0

Twenty 2.58.1 stops existing accounts from joining a workspace through SSO alone.

◆ Current state

Twenty 2.58.1 and 2.58.2 carry the same change: SSO sign-in now requires an existing Twenty account to already be a member of the workspace. Invitations, invite links and approved domains only apply to new accounts, so an existing account joins once through its invitation and uses SSO after that. The release adds SAML and OIDC integration tests that run without an external identity provider. 2.58.0 shipped to npm on November 12 with only a file-rename note.

◆ Where it's heading

Twenty ships minor versions every few days, and most tags carry little detail. The changes that are described tighten access and security, as in this SSO fix, or extend the AI assistant inside the inbox and SDK. Point releases now carry the visible change rather than the minors.

◆ Prediction

More point releases on 2.58 are likely; the entries do not show which feature 2.59 will bring.

L5.0

Less Annoying CRM lets users pin notes to the top of a contact

◆ Current state

LACRM ships slowly and from user requests. Two weeks after October's bundle of six features (scratchpad widget, custom contact labels, event and task search, history filters), it added pinned notes that stay at the top of a contact or company record. Earlier in the year came configurable task views, rich text fields, undo merge and relative date filters.

◆ Where it's heading

The work stays on the daily record view: making the current state of a client easier to see as history grows. No AI, pricing or integration moves appear in the entries.

◆ Prediction

More small record-view and search features, either one at a time or as another bundle, are the likely next step.
